This seems like a nice beginning to a fantasy story.

My only problem here is that it seems a bit too... generic? It's nicely told, don't get me wrong, but I've read a lot of starting-poems like these that basically hint at the same thing. Heroes, villains, true love - we've heard it all before.

I wish you would've put your own spin on this.

Also, 'Head' should be heed. P

As ever, I don't mean to sound harsh, just truthful.
